Senior Data Engineer

We’re Doccla, redefining where and how healthcare is delivered. Our Virtual Ward and Remote Monitoring Solutions enable hospitals and health systems to care for patients at home, supporting patients across the full care journey—from early discharge and acute recovery to long-term condition management and proactive care.

We provide clinicians with everything they need to deliver safe, effective Virtual Care: medical-grade devices, logistics, patient onboarding, EHR integration, and an end-to-end clinical platform built around real-world workflows. We currently work with over 60% of NHS ICBs and supporting health systems across the UK, Ireland, France, and the DACH region to reduce hospital pressure, improve outcomes, and create a more resilient model of care. We’re backed by top European investors, with £35m in Series B funding led by Lakestar and participation from Elaia, General Catalyst, Speedinvest, and Bertelsmann.

This is your chance to join Doccla at a key stage in our growth. We’re building the category leader in Virtual Care and Remote Patient Monitoring and you’ll be part of a highly entrepreneurial, mission-driven team that combines expertise across clinical, technical, commercial, and operational domains.
